awarded to the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi at the 21st Annual Movieguide Awards in Universal City, Calif., in February. The movie chronicles the life of


an 85-year-old sushi master and his quest to perfect the art of sushi. Mov- ieguide said the 81-minute documen- tary “inspires the pursuit of excellence and dedication.” But if documentaries aren’t your thing, here are the fi ve other fi lms that were nominated:


The Dark Knight Rises — Christian


Bale as Batman is up against Bane, a villain who preaches his twisted notion of social justice and stirs up all kinds of class envy leading to vio- lent protests that resemble the Occupy Wall Street movement. Movieguide says the fi lm is “an awesome, redemptive epic where an imprisoned Batman must inspire sev- eral key people, including Catwoman, to turn to the good and help him stop an evil terrorist leader.”


Here Comes the Boom — A comedy


that stars Kevin James as Scott Voss, a disillusioned biology teacher whose music-teacher friend, played by Henry Winkler, will be laid off unless the school raises $48,000. Voss tries to raise the money in a most unconventional way, consider-

ing he’s out of shape and 42 years old: He becomes a professional fi ghter. Movieguide says the “highly enter-


taining” fi lm contains “a Christian worldview with prayer, Scripture, and sacrifi ce.”


The Odd Life of Timothy Green —


Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton are a married couple who cannot conceive but suddenly have a 10-year-old son who seemingly sprung up from their garden as if he were a plant. Movieguide calls it “entertaining, charming and wholesome from the beginning, with a very clear plot line.”


Snow White and the Huntsman —


Kristen Stewart is Snow White, Charl- ize Theron her stepmother, and Chris Hemsworth the handsome hero in this live-action, fantasy version of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Movieguide calls it “an exciting, thrilling movie artfully infused with overt and sym- bolic Christian content.”


Won’t Back Down — Loosely based


on a true story, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis are parents who fi ght bureaucrats to transform a failing school. Movieguide says the fi lm “has a great free-market message about fi ght- ing for perfection when the govern- ment allows for mediocrity.”


— and the Winner Is 


O’REILLY’S ‘KILLING’ RATINGS The National Geographic channel


scored record viewership when 3.4 million households tuned in to watch Killing Lincoln, a TV movie narrated by Tom Hanks and based on Bill O’Reilly’s best-selling book of the same name. National Geographic is also making a TV movie out of Killing Kennedy, also written by the star Fox News Channel host. O’Reilly has started on the third book in the series, Killing Jesus.


TV SHOW TOO RACY? Former Playboy centerfold Jenny McCarthy’s late-night TV show got off to an interesting start when Josh Groban decided at the last moment he didn’t want to appear on the show because it was too racy. McCarthy told Access Hollywood that when Groban arrived, he (or a member of his team) objected to the Vegas-style dancing girls who were performing on the show. Other outlets said the list


of questions, including “What music do you listen to


when you make love?” also spooked Groban. McCarthy had her comedian sister Jojo fill in.


NAPOLEON MINISERIES Steven Spielberg, hot off recent


success with his movie Lincoln, has begun work on a TV miniseries about Napoleon Bonaparte. The Oscar-winning director of Schindler’s List said on French TV that he is developing the Napoleon project from a screenplay written by the late Stanley Kubrick, who abandoned his eff ort to turn the script into a movie in the 1970s after studios determined it would be too expensive.
